Be Like A Bird

Birds build their own nests
one twig at a time
little by little.

Birds build their own nests
strong enough
for raising their young ones
until they know
how to fly.

Be like a bird
even if it takes time
build your own home.

Be like a bird
build your home strong enough
for raising your children
until they know how to live
...on their own.
